Book 1: Reborn! - Part 3: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Epilogue

In the depths of the Xiao Clan Mansion was a certain room. It was a hall that bore the design of white trees and black dragons coiling around them.

No natural light came in from any window as there weren't any, instead, on the more than fifty feet tall ceiling, like a god looking down on the world, was a purple moon that shone down purple light on its surroundings.

This hall had been used by the Clan Master for generations and it was referred to as the 'Inner Master Hall'.

Right now, in that hall with no windows and lit up only by the purple moon on the ceiling, a figure ran towards the throne at the back of the room, his face pale and his eyes trembling.

He wore purple robes decorated with golden threads, signifying the man was none other than a Purple Hall Elder. The Clan had three major Halls: the Black Hall, the White Hall and the Purple Hall.

The Halls, of course, were named after the two main scriptures of the Clan: Black Dragon and White Tree scripture and the Purple Moon scripture.

It had to be noted though that while the Black Dragon and White Tree scripture was one, single scripture to begin with, it had two different attributes, attack and defense.

How to differentiate a cultivator cultivating the dual-attribute Black Dragon and White Tree scripture that focused on enhancing their attacking power from one that instead decided to put their efforts on boosting their endurance?

This problem was solved by dividing the previous Soldier Hall into the Black and White Halls.

Also, while the two other Halls specialized in attack and defense only, the Purple Moon Scripture had many hidden bonuses that it could grant to the cultivators practicing the homonymous scripture.

The Purple Moon was also the rarest of three kinds of Sensed Qi that a Clan member of the Xiao Clan could sense on their breakthrough from a simple mortal to the Inferior stage. The Xiao Clan members having the Purple Moon as their sensed Qi were not even a hundredth of the total forces of the Clan.

This was also the reason why the Purple Hall was also the most prestigious. For an esteemed Elder of the Purple Hall to be wearing such an anxious face meant something major had happened.

"Clan Master!" The figure fell on his feet kowtowing and spoke frantically "This humble junior just received the news of a conflict in the Mysterious Light-Shadow Sect! This junior is afraid... Wu'Er got involved!"

There was a throne made out of purple crystals on the back of the room: it was more than forty-five feet tall, almost touching the ceiling. It had the shape of a tree with a purple dragon coiled around it: on top of the head of the crystal dragon, more than ten feet in the air was where a figure sat in meditation.

The figure wore long, purple and black robes that fell on the ground, had long, blue hair that fell down his back like a waterfall while his stern face exuded powerful pressure.

His eyelids slowly lifted and two green eyes calmly examined their surroundings. The pair of orbs seemed to hold deep knowledge as well as looking extremely sharp, like an unsheathed blade.

If one was to look within the eyelids and past the pupils, one would be able to see a sea of stars holding within a titanic black blade, sharp enough to cut through any and all metals and a purple moon whose purple light gave off an eerie feeling...
